The study of technological methods of plastic structure formation is an urgent task. Taking into account that structure formation depends on many factors and, first of all, on the deformed state, studies of the deformed state and structural studies involving TEM were carried out in the work. It is known that reliable data of the structural state allows predicting the mechanical and operational properties of the obtained semi-finished products and products. In this regard, the analysis of the effect of the processing route (C, Bc) on the structural changes after high-cycle active bending was carried out. A numerical simulation of the active bending process was also carried out, and the accumulated strain values were determined for 8 processing cycles. Established patterns of structure formation, depending on the level of accumulated deformation and processing route.

The development of new technological methods of SPD for the production of mass production with improved properties due to the deep grinding of the original structure is an important task. The purpose of this work was to study the active bending to grind the structure and create promising, for operational use, gradient structural states in long rods of copper grade M1. Active bending was performed using an extruder according to the “Conform” scheme. The results of the analysis stress-strain state is using computer simulation and structures using optical microscopy. It is established that the active bending method provides over four processing cycles high strain accumulation (e = 3-4) and formation subgrained- structure UFG type.
